Answer 1

Answer:

no. who eat lunch special = 12

no. who eat dessert = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = no. who eat lunch special

y = no. who eat dessert

(1)    8x + 2y = 108             (2)    6x + 3y = 90

 Divide thru by 2                         Divide thru by 3

      4x + y = 54                          2x + y = 30

     -2x - y = -30

       2x = 24

         x = 12                               2(12) + y = 30

                                                    24 + y = 30

                                                            y = 6
